So did everybody realize that today was 10/11/12? Some people I talked to had no idea! How fun is that? It could also be 1-2-3 if you add the numbers up. Moving on...

I had to get a run in today since I didn't go yesterday and tomorrow is my only day I can get in my long run. I had 5 scheduled. I decided to go through this small park that is in the middle of my neighborhood. I have explored it one other time. It's rather small and the trails really don't go anywhere, but I was really craving a change of scenery. This added on only about a quarter of a mile, but it was something. I did the rest of my miles around a cemetery. The wind was crazy today. Running against the wind, I could barely move and running with the wind I was going crazy fast and not even realizing it. I ended up quitting at 4 miles and decided to save my legs a bit for tomorrow considering I still had to go to work and run around for eight hours. I walked the mile and a half home so I did still get my five miles in.

You can see haw drastically the splits went down!

After my run, I hopped into the shower, changed and headed to the grocery store. I had no fruit in my house and needed something to eat. I headed to Aldi. I get almost all of my produce there. It is so much cheaper than the grocery story. I got tons of food for $25!

By the time I got home I was so hungry I felt a little sick. I heated up some of the refried black beans that I had made the other day and put them on corn tortillas with avocado, lettuce, and tomato. I used half of the avocado on the tortillas and I mashed up the other half and ate it with some tortilla chips.

After that, I had to hurry and change for work and pack a lunch to take. I'm trying not to spend money every day that I am there on silly things that I don't need.
